Abstract

This article investigates the characteristics of activist journalism present in the narratives about the Amazon by journalist Eliane Brum, published on the website El País Brasil, between 2017 and 2020. From the perspective of the current of narrative studies associated with journalism, the research seeks to problematize the processes communicative, argumentative strategies and the effects that insert a sense of resistance in the narratives. The study analyzes nine reports from 2017 to 2020 about the Amazon region using the Critical Narrative Analysis Method (Motta, 2013) in conjunction with Content Analysis (Bardin, 2011). The results show that the reports use narrative resources that show journalistic personal identification with themes and sources, which underlies activist journalism.
